They got around it but not in the way you suggest (according to my source close to NC) ! Basically, Sven is not included in the 60% as he is not a player and Sol has been given a 5 year contract which he will probably not conclude but which will no doubt be paid in full when he leaves !!

Unless of course you are a politician

I don't have a problem with differing views and indeed, love a healthy debate as you clearly do also ! I acknowledge the fact that the written word eliminates body language which can often lead to solidly entrenched opinion when, in reality, there is common ground after all ! I have met a number of posters from forum and, without exception, they have been good, reasonable people. I don't like to see you being slaughtered on this thread (although I fully understand why!) and for this reason I would be more than happy to meet you. Please be assured that I am of a gentle disposition and pose no threat to man nor beast ! Just let me know by PM !

I really would like to meet you 19C, just to assess whether you are a total wanchor in real life or just on this website ????

Pardew has used the word 'dysfunctional' a couple of times in relation to the squad and the more these snippets come out, the more you begin to realise why !! I agree with most on here who say " if he wants away, let him go", it's pretty academic whether they have ability or not, basically they are 'bad apples spoiling the whole bunch' and right now we need only those who are entirely committed to the new regime at SMS !!!

Only if he plays, that was my point ! Also, I read that it was only a playing contract and no coaching was involved. Anyway I still think that our 'building block' approach is more sensible than their 'big star' way but I suppose only time will tell !

As the Ronaldo of my day, you would have thought that have made a bit more of an effort though, eh ????

Most scouts prefer to remain anonymous. I remember in my day when playing for the county schools team I was told that the old guy with the cloth cap standing by the touchline was a scout for (Greenock) Morton and he was watching ME ! I asked how he would get in touch and was told that they would write to me ! That's how it was done, very low key ! Ps. The letter never did arrive, fecking Royal Mail, eh ????

You are at again 19c and you wonder why nobody has respect for you ????

Notts County need their heads examined, he will be injured most of the time so whatever they pay him will be money wasted !

I guess you mean lack of experience ????

Having slated Wotton in the past, I have to say that he did well tonight ! James can play a role in MF as a steady link for other more creative types but i don't like him at RB mainly because of his lack of pace !

With all due respect he was sh*t !!!!

I would not play James at RB mainly because he lacks pace and is slow to turn and recover ! He has done well in midfield IMO as he keeps the play moving and has a good cross on him ! If we don't get anyone in to replace Murty I would opt for Thomas as he has would add a bit of muscle behind James on the right flank !

My mate has a spare ticket which you could make him an offer for ! You could sit next to him during the match. He shouts and sings a lot and is a great laugh so you would definitely get on well with him ! Ps. It's in the Brentford end !

I am somehow reminded of the old saying : "If he was half as good as he thinks he is, he would be twice as good as he actually is" ! They both appear to think that they are better than this level yet struggle to get into the team, there's got to be a reason !

My copy arrived in the post this morning ! As I read it, every time I smile I'll think of that **** 19C and smile just a little bit more

The way things have been I reckon it might be better if he doesn't get used to our system ????

There is no need for me to do that, you do a wonderful job all on your own !!!

Having read that Brighton site thread, for some reason I have a vision of Ryan Smith in my head ! Please tell me I'm wrong and not to worry............

He's probably a very nice guy but somehow he doesn't seem cut out to be a footballer ! At the age of 24 we are his 7th club, he has made 10 league starts and (as a modfielder) has scored no goals !! Quite why we signed him on a 2 year contract is weird (I note he has an option for another year and if we were to offer it then, well $£%&^!(**&^$£*&^%).

I think you'll find that he does (maybe it's best that he confirms it though?) but my point to you is that you have slated Crouch endlessly whereas FF seems to be friendly with him and generally defends his position ! How you can say that you and FF are in complete agreement is beyond me !!!
